Unterstein Added to Hofstra Coaching Staff

from press release

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - Hofstra alumnus Kevin Unterstein, who
has spent the past two seasons serving as an assistant coach under
Bill Tierney at both Princeton and Denver, has been named to the
Pride coaching staff, Hofstra Head Men's Lacrosse Coach Seth
Tierney announced today.

A 2008 graduate of Hofstra with a degree in sociology, Unterstein
enjoyed a stellar playing career as a short-stick defensive middie
from 2005 through 2008. As a senior he recorded a team-leading 70
ground balls while helping to guide the Pride to the Colonial
Athletic Association title and the NCAA Tournament. For his
efforts, he was an All-CAA first team selection, and was named the
CAA Defensive Player of the Year, and the CAA Championship
Tournament Most Valuable Player.

In 2007 as a junior, Unterstein earned USILA All-American honorable
mention honors, and was named to the All-CAA second team as well as
the All-CAA Tournament team. As a sophomore in 2006, Kevin, his
twin brother Mike, and their older brother Chris combined to help
lead Hofstra to a 17-2 record, a No. 2 national ranking and a No. 3
seed in the NCAA tournament. He was also named to the All-CAA
Rookie Team as a freshman.

Following graduation in 2008, he became an assistant under Bill
Tierney at Princeton, working with the defense and face-off
specialists. He would follow Tierney to Denver to help coordinate
the Pioneers' man-down unit and work specifically with the
defensive midfielders and work with assistant coach Trevor Tierney
with the defense and the overall face-off game.

A native of Shoreham, N.Y., he was a high school All-American at
Shoreham-Wading River High, where he was part of four Suffolk
County championships and one state championship.
Unterstein replaces Matt Rewkowski, who accepted an assistant
coaching position at Cornell in June.
